Offered here is an N566 #326 Sylvia Gerrish [In a very provacative pose for 1894/95], Newsboy Tobacco Actresses, Cabinet Photo. 1894/1895, VG. I am using a High Resolution Scanner for the large cards NOt photographing them- most are arched and will flatten in the shipping top loader. The N566 Newsboy series pictures Actresses and numbers into the hundreds of cards. The Newsboy cabinets were likely point-of-sale giveaways for buying the Newsboy brand of tobacco. The cabinets are standard 4-1/4\" x 6-1/2\" cabinets and have an albumen photo adhered to a red-inked mount advertising Newsboy of New York at the bottom front of the cabinet. Shipped in plastic, between stiff cardboard and with delivery confirmation.
This cabinet is from the Second of the three major groupings of Newsboy cabinets.
The 2nd group [series] is easy to identify, having the words Newsboy/New York printed in green on a greyish board. The photo itself is mounted within a double set of frame lines, also printed in green.The inner frame line is thinner than the outer.These photographic prints are ‘gelatin silver process. Arguably this process results in a sharper, more defined end product than with all the other groupings and may account for the slightly higher prices when sold.
The photos are numbered on the mount, and apart from one example (306 on RH side), always in the centre. The photo may also bear the number, either on the right- or left-hand sides. The printing of the words New York can also vary (see illustrations below).Most examples will be in block capitals i.e., the usual version but occasionally in a smaller stylised version beginning with a capital letter, the remainder in lower case.
